Here are excerpts of an interview conducted by Der Spiegel and the Lebanese PM.

In his answers, you will see the root of the problem.

1. Palestinians,i n spite of their alleged horrible living condiitons, have a huge birthrate, 3x times that of the Lebanese people.

2. The Lebanese PM will not admit that Lebanon's failure to follow the mandate of the U.N. resolution that led to Israel's withdrawal is fueling the current crisis. Israel took the Lebanese gov't at its word and w/ithdrew from southern Lebanon, thus giving up a huge saftey buffer zone.

3. The Lebanese PM sees Hezbollah as a conquering hero. He seems to think that Hezbollah's attacks on Israel forced Israel's withdrawal from soutern Lebanon. In fact, it was Israel's good faith and desire for peace that motivated the withdrawal. But Israel's enemies will never see it that way.

Here is a link to the interview:
